Abstract (en)

Cooling installation (1) for low energy consumption, consisting of a primary cooling circuit (2) in which there is an object (4) to be cooled, a compressor (6a), a primary condenser (7) and a primary turbine (8a) that drives an electricity generator or is directly coupled to the primary compressor, characterised in that the primary condenser (7) is coupled to a secondary cooling circuit (3) that follows a Rankine cycle or a TFC (Trilateral Flash Cycle system), whereby heat from the primary cooling circuit (2) is utilised in the secondary cooling circuit (3) that contains a secondary turbine (8b) that is coupled to an electricity generator, or is directly coupled to the primary compressor, and further contains a secondary condenser (10) and a pressure pump (12).
